IXL is an adaptive practice platform covering over 17,000 skills across Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, and Spanish from PreK through 12th grade. Rather than teaching new concepts from scratch, IXL assumes instruction has already happened and jumps straight into adaptive practice — adjusting difficulty in real time based on how a student performs, getting harder when they’re ready and easier when they’re struggling.
IXL’s “Smart Score” system tracks mastery by individual skill — students need to consistently answer correctly to raise their score, and incorrect answers bring it down. This makes it a genuinely rigorous diagnostic and practice tool, though the score system can frustrate some kids. The platform includes a real-time diagnostic that identifies exactly where a student stands across grade levels and pinpoints specific gaps. Subscriptions are sold in tiered packages — single subject, combo (Math + ELA), core subjects (Math, ELA, Science, Social Studies), with Spanish available as an add-on to any package.
Pinpoints exactly where gaps exist across every grade and subject.
One of the most comprehensive practice libraries available for homeschoolers.
Start with just math and add subjects as your family needs them.
